WINFIELD, KAN, March 18-Two
hundred women in this city have regis
tered, and it is the general feeling that
about 100 more will do so. There Will
De about 1000 males registered. 1t is fair
to presume that something over 200
women viii vote. The first who regis
tered were Of the short hair and hard

majority Of those who vote are of the
more respectable element.

PARIS, TEX March 22.-Last Saturday
Doc Smith, who has been working for j.

mule to ride to town. He traded with
John Gilroy and got $2S to boot and left.
As Smith did not return with the mule or
money, Mr.. Francis came to town yester-
day and, finding the mule in possession
of Gilroy, he sued out writ of replevin.

Preparatory to Casting the Ballot.
Kansas City Times.
KANSAS CITY, KAN.
The women who have registered in
Kansas City, Kan, are generally Of the
Oest families, and include the strong
minded women who act and think fol-
themselves. A small per cent. from the
more modest walks of life have found
their way to the City clerks office. Over
100 Colored women have registered. On
several occasions female applicants OF
foreign birth have been disappointed and
ia two instances so strong was the desire
to vote that they took out regular papers
of naturalization.
The great ambition on the part of the
women who propose to exercise their vot-
ing privileges seems to be to enforce the
prohioitory laws of the state and to Sc
cure good managers of the educational
interests of the city.
There are many hundred ladies' in the
city who obstinatelY refuse to register,
and could not by any means be induced to
60 to the POLLS on election day, but the
new law will increase the vote of the city
between 400 and 500, but will have no de-
cided influence otherwise than as indi-
Gated.

MEssRs ToRs.-SIRs-I your paper
OF March 9th discussing the school Law,
yod don't discuss the point at. issue. In
stead of the signers of the remonslrance
not understanding the subject, we think
it is you that don't fully understand it.
The signers of that remonstrative are
not opposed to free schools, but claim the
right to say how much they shall be
taxed in excess of the thousand dollars.
The commissioners have, as the law now
is, the right to raise 81 900 without con-
sulting the voters, and S400 mare with
their consent. More money than they
say they will need. What then can be
their object; only to run the school, indie
pendent of the tax payers? We think it
better to keep the people interested,
so as to bring them out at the annual
meetings and if the commissioners can
show that they need more money to run
the school iudiciously, we have conf
dence in the people to vote them the
necessary sum.

Philadelphia, March. Is, 1885,

Five cent fares
This event came about two weeks
ago, and the fact that the backbone
of the Traction and other street car
monopolies had been broken, was
the theme of general conversation
among all classes. can remember
when the fare was seven cents for Il
single passage, but don't think
there was anything like the furore
over the reduction to six cents, as it
was let down then in accordance
with everything else at the time
There has been numerous appeals
and motions for this reduction.
which should have been inaugural
ed long ago, but it was only when |
threatened law suit in which all the
secrets of this street car ring would
have been laid bare, that the price
was reduced. The knocking off of
this one cent will be the loss of II
great percentage of revenue, which
will have to he made up some how,
and this is one way it will be accom-
plised. Formerly children of tender
years were either let go free, or charg-
ed four cents if over n certain age.
Now all children are charged full
fare provided they are not in their
mothers laps. Some companies 90
so far as to charge for babies provid-
ed they set alone. So you see a
cent is readily coined out of many
children that heretofore was not
worth Il cent, not even a copper.
We have got our mayor, now the
next thing in order is to get his lieu

heads of departments is like unto

listening to the plaintive sigh of the
many-sided politician, who is advan-
cling the claims of this and that
party worker. | am afraid it will
be the same old cry, and the same
old debauchery, for when you see
the desire of those who want place
and will not be satisfied till they can
get what they want, it is very plain
that the politicians is going to rule
or ruin. There is Bill Smith, and
Bill Leeds, and Bill Stokely, and
Bill Mann, and Bill McMullen. and
Bill Bum and good many other
Bills that ! can't Just call to me and
all want something to say in the re.
organization of our city government
under the new charter. Bill McMul.
lin is II Democrat, but he has some
little influence in an indirect way
with both parties, and always man
ages to retain Il few of his men on
the police. Bill Smith is pretty
sick man just now, and hasn't much
to say, although if lie were able nc
doubt would try to use some of tn,
little power he has in being the may
or of this great city prior to its going
into the hands Of the Bullitt bill
management. Besides this coteric
of Bills there are lots of other pol
itical satalites with names to suit the
average politician.

On Saturday evening of last week
meeting of the citizens was called
by the Board of Town Commissions
ers to take into consideration the
ACCESSIBILITY of changing the town
charter and extending the boundary
lines. The meeting was well attend
ed, and committee was appointed
to work with the Commissioners to
make the necessary changes. On
Wednesday night an adjourned
meeting was called, and the charter
AS changed-was read. There was
no fault found until that portion,
which speaks of only allowing real
estate owners to vote, if the town is
to be bonded. This caused consid-
cradle argument. As to the pro and
con, we do not propose to discuss,
because we are positive, that real es-
tate owners will not place tax up
on the people without II thorough
understanding. If the town be
bonded for water, we all. should be
glad, because we all can have the
same privilege in using it. Or even
if electric lights be placed here, what
a blessing, we might say, it would
be. Whatever our solid men do,
we believe they will do for the
best. There are many who will ar
que that it does not seem fair that
they,-not real estate owners-have
not word to say in regard to plac-
ing the town in debt, while at the
same time taxes will be increased.
This question must he settled by the
people. The majority were in favor
of the section and it was adopted. As
to whether it will become a law, we
have not the least doubt.
The proposed boundary lines
caused much comment, but they
were adopted, and the whole matter
will be forwarded to the Legislature.
Probably little railroading will
have to he done, if it becomes a law
at this session.

ALL the towns on the Peninsula,
which are not supplied with a fire
engine, are constantly and earnestly
putting forth ideas as to how to secure
an engine and how bad one will be
needed if Il fire should occur. We
have spoken frequently about the
need of a fire extinguisher, but the
town is willing and satisfied to be as
she is. 1t is true, Newark is close to
Wilmington, but, even in case of a
fire, where will the water come from?
Water is needed. But all these
things cost money and what is the
usc of talking about this, that and
something else, when money is in
question. Now us to widening the
town limits, does not cost much and,
it is quite likely, the majority ofthe
people are willing to enlarge.
